Genes affected
BLM (HGNC:1058): (BLM RecQ like helicase) The Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth deficiency, microcephaly and immunodeficiency among others. It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding DNA helicase RecQ protein on chromosome 15q26. This Bloom-associated helicase unwinds a variety of DNA substrates including Holliday junction, and is involved in several pathways contributing to the maintenance of genome stability. Identification of pathogenic Bloom variants is required for heterozygote testing in at-risk families. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

BLM-related disorder Uncertain:1

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BLM c.3397A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys1133Glu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in association with disorders in the literature. Functional studies showed that this variant does not significantly affect protein function in response to DNA-damaging agents (Table 1, Mirzaei et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 23129629). This variant is reported in 0.048% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity in ClinVar ranging from likely benign to uncertain (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/127498). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Bloom syndrome Uncertain:1
Dec 23, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 1133 of the BLM protein (p.Lys1133Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs145027663, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127498). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BLM protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BLM function (PMID: 23129629). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Single pathogenic variants in BLM have only recently been described in association with cancer predisposition and the risks are not well understood. This variant is denoted BLM c.3397A>G at the cDNA level, p.Lys1133Glu (K1133E) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Lysine to a Glutamic Acid (AAA>GAA). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BLM Lys1133Glu was observed with an allele frequency of 0.1% (5/4396) in African Americans in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, not frequent enough to be considered a polymorphism. Since Lysine and Glutamic Acid differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution and is likely to affect protein integrity. BLM Lys1133Glu occurs at a position that is moderately conserved across species and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. At a molecular level, the impact of this missense variant on protein structure and function is not known and thus we consider this to be a variant of uncertain significance. Furthermore, based on the currently available information, cancer risks associated with this variant, and with single variants the BLM gene in general, remain unclear. -
